Guru Rinpoche

“The presence of Guru Rinpoché, a figure so important to Tibetan Buddhists he is called simply ‘The Precious Master,’ can be felt still in each of these liberating stories translated here. Read side-by-side, they reveal an even wider picture, deftly highlighted by Ngawang Zangpo’s introduction of how history and culture interact with the inner spirituality that is beyond time and place.”—Sarah Harding, author of Creation and Completion “With a thought-provoking introduction and stimulating cultural, religious, and literary insights, this new work will certainly be enjoyed by everyone interested in the vast spiritual legacy of the ‘Second Buddha’ in Tibet.”—Cyrus Stearns, author of The Buddha from Dölpo

Ngawang Zangpo (Hugh Leslie Thompson) completed two three-year retreats under the direction of the late Kalu Rinpoche. He is presently working on a number of translation projects under the direction of Chadral Rinpoche and Lama Tharchin Rinpoche. He has also contributed to Kalu Rinpoche’s translation group’s books Myriad Worlds and Buddhist Ethics.
